RAVEN SPEAKS I: REVELATIONS TO PEACE

A performance art piece that approaches a potential choice point in life, and the myriad of feelings one encounters when not making that choice. What follows is confusion, doubt and sheer exhaustion. Eventually, a state of sublime peace and tranquility ensues and remains. Making no choice is still a choice. “Revelations to Peace” encounters a crossroads in life: It transcends the egoistic constructs of confusion and chaos, and irrevocably offers peace and tranquility. Powerfully paradigm shattering, in numerous ways. Perceptible choice leads to transcendence, which gives us faith.

RAVEN SPEAKS II: OPEN ARMS AWAKEN

“Open Arms Awaken”, focuses on faith in the unknown. It’s ethereal and fluid in feel and texture. Raven Speaks creates a sacred, ambient space to experience faith that resides within; this concept is universal yet very personal.One must be willing to allow themselves to let go of ego death-traps before faith can be felt inside one’s body; otherwise the feeling may be considered fleeting and superficial.

RAVEN SPEAKS: IV Echo S P A C E

Raven Speaks Performance Art brings you a new arrangement of Middle Eastern Dance, Qi Gong, ambient music and electronica. Echo S P A C E. This piece encompasses an experience of self-initiation and rebirth. The intent of Echo S P A C E is to embark on a healing journey. Echo S P A C E is a sacred and timeless portal where transformation takes place. Echo S P A C E allows for physical, spiritual and mental transformation. Through creation of this piece, I am discovering healing modalities for the body that gently allow liberation, optimum circulation and advanced healing. The purpose is to create a meditative and peaceful experience. This performance piece has three phases: enTRANCE portal, First Echos and eMERGe, all dealing with different emotions within the journey.

RAVEN SPEAKS: V Untitled

Untitled deals with spirit, fluidity and etheREALITIES. It is a personal depiction of the cycles of rebirth, creation and metamorphosis, more specifically, transcending thoughts to higher consciousness, bliss and joy. The musical style incorporated into this performance piece is Classical Baroque.

Gratitude to Ricardo Hendrix for inspiring this project. My intention is to best fulfill the ideas and concepts with regard to Untitled this year. Excerpts of Untitled will be presented in July, September and November 2018. The entire work will be performed at the next Community Gathering @Raven’s Nest, January 19, 2019.

RAVEN SPEAKS VI: Svadisthana:شفا یابی کا پانی

This performance piece honors transformation and healing of the sacral chakra. Through classical Indian inspired dance, I will express gratitude to water’s healing expressions. I’m also giving thanks to the cooling effect of moon energy in healing inflammatory issues in my body.
